**Los Angeles, CA** – Anjelica Huston, in a recent interview with People magazine, shared intimate details about her life, revealing a private battle with cancer and the enduring strength of her friendship with ex-boyfriend Jack Nicholson.
The 73-year-old actress disclosed that she was diagnosed with cancer in 2019 but has been cancer-free for four years. While she chose not to specify the type of cancer, Huston expressed immense gratitude for her medical team and the milestone, stating, “It means so much to me. It’s a fantastic thing and I’m very proud of myself.” The experience, she added, shifted her perspective on life, encouraging her to embrace laughter and a less serious approach.
Huston also spoke about her decades-long friendship with Jack Nicholson, whom she dated on and off from 1973 to 1990.

She recounted a heartwarming anecdote of Nicholson calling her during the recent Los Angeles wildfires to offer support and a place to stay, highlighting his unwavering presence in her life.
The interview comes on the heels of another recent revelation where Huston publicly criticized Bill Murray for his behavior on the set of *Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou*.
